    Beautiful and useful life jacket

    A really helpful gear for dogs who are learning to swim. It also gives us a peace of mind when doing boardpaddling in deep waters.

    Great durability and fit!

    We had to pull her back in when she ducked it was shallow enough for a trot down the river, and it was no problem with the great handle and fit!

    Dog Life Jacket

    This life vest works and fits great. I also love that the colors are for my female dog. There aren’t many color choices for female dogs with the harnesses and life jackets.

    I love all of the Ruffwear products. They are sturdy and well made.

    Great Life Jacket

    This was our first ever life jacket and Oliver's first ever time swimming! He had a great time and didn't mind having it on at all! His movements were not hindered and it helped keep the front half of his body up. Very happy with it!!
